Hi, my name's Nic and I'm a newbie.  I am bipolar and in crisis (manic phase).  I am being well supported by both professionals and friends.  Started my new meds regime today.  There was a delay due to being out of stock, but should kick in about a week.  In the meantime I have Diazepam to keep me calm.  Would love to chat to anyone and everyone   :)

    Hi @coylygirl - thank you for introducing yourself, Nic, & we're all here to chat. You've been through a rough time, so I also hope your meds kick in soon. What sort of things are you interested in? :)

    Keep Fit, creative writing, Theatre, Films, Music.  Can only go for walks at the moment, but that is ok  :)  Thank you for your reply x

    My favourite band is Linkin Park but that's a bit too intense at the moment and thinking about Chester triggers me.  Currently listening to strong female artists x

    I'm all for keep fit, as I was a physio a long time ago, & now do the exercises I used to teach! I enjoy reading, listening to music & films too. You might enjoy our virtual 'Coffee lounge,' where different topics come up about people's interests, hobbies & pets, to name just a very few. :)

    That sounds cool.  I have a personal trainer who is a real star.  HE has his own studio but unfortunately he has had to close due to Covid.  Bummer!  HE also does sports massage so an all rounder.  I will defo try the coffee lounge, thanks for the heads up  :)

    I can no longer afford the PT so will try to get a GP referral for exercise when this pandemic is over x

    Which strong female artists are you listening to at the moment @coylygirl? You can always post what you're listening to in the music you're listening to thread :)

    I'm really glad you're feeling well supported at the moment.

    Hi Liann, thanks so much for your lovely message.  I haven't left the house for 3 weeks and have been advised not to go out alone for the time being as I'm suffering from blackouts.  I put a message on my village page for walking buddies and waiting for a response,  I have just bubbled up with another household so that should help.  How are you managing your bipolar and are you getting the support you need?  <3

    Yeah, I had a relapse Monday as I kicked my ex-partner out and the police were involved.  High as a kite, but I'm on clonazepan which is a strong sedative.  I'm under the crisis team and have home treatment visit every day so you could say it;s the eye of the storm.  Paranoid about being sectioned but sure it won't come to that.  Concentrating on normalising eating and sleeping at the mo.  This Covid thing is  a nightmare  <3
